Abby, the Dog of the Day
Name: Abby
Age: Six months old
Gender: Female Breed: Golden Retriever
Home: Hurricane, Utah, USA
 
   Our dog's name is Abby. She is a six-month-old golden retriever. Her full name is Princess Golden Abigail IV. She is special because she is very smart and tries hard to obey even though she is still a puppy. One day when she had escaped and while we were chasing her we yelled for her to sit. She wanted so hard to obey and still get away that she started running with her bottom on the ground. We hope that you will consider her for trying so very hard to be good! She is incredibly smart and loves to play.

    I raised all $300 myself to get her. I wanted a puppy, and not just any puppy a Golden Retriever! Then an add in the news paper said they had pups for sale for $300. I didn't have enough at the time so my parents payed and I repaid them later.

    Update: Abby now knows how to fetch, sit, stay, roll over, play dead, come back, tug of war (her favorite), but most of all she knows how to get everyone to feed her. She doesn't try to steal your food directly she takes the subtle approach and just stares at you with those big brown eyes and looks sad. Abby was chosen because she was the most playful and loving. When we put her in Aubrey's (our oldest daughter and owner) arms she said it just felt right. Aubrey says that she hopes when she finds a husband that it will feel the same way. She is a perfect addition to our family.
